[quote name='Farny']Okay, after about 20 calls, I got this one, and did pretty well.
I called one EB, and the dude said that the deal was good. I called back, to ask if it was oaky to buy the games from his store and trade them back. He was like, "Yeah, it's fine. A good idea, too." So he wrung it up to see if the same 3 games would work (He had 3 of the same game for $5) and found the "Streetwise Coupon" bull. He told me it needed a coupon, and I told him about how some of you guy's had the dudes call their managers. I told him to do so, and called back 15 minutes later. He said it was good, and to just come by and he'd do it for me.
I called another EB, to see if they had the deal working. The chick there said it was good, too. I called back to ask if it was okay to buy the games and sell them back. She said, "Yeah, I wouldn't mind. I mean, it's smart..." I told her I could just bring in some old games to be safe; she said that would be safest. I later called again, to ask what the cheapest games in her store were.
Two stores did not know about this offer. One hadn't heard anything and one said it was good, besides POX. I told him that the deal supposedly, was POX-free. Oh, well.
So I went to the second EB store, intending to buy a game. They ended up having games cheaper than she said, so I bought all three at that store. I told her I wanted to do it at her store, but she said, "Nah. I won't do it, because you might get screwed. Remember, I don't condone this, but makes sure you take off the stickers and everything."
I go to the first EB. There's a different guy from the one I talked to on the phone 6 times. I tried to do it, because the guy seemed to know about it. He did eveything, and he goes, "This doesn't work. It's POX." I told him the deal didn't have any exclusions, and he told me that the other guy was getting back from break in 25 minutes. SO I left.
I get back later and talk to the guy I talked to on the phone. He told the guy who rung me up earlier about the email, and showed him the Streetwise thing. He told the dude he had called his manager and that you were just supposed to override it. SO the other guy did it for me, and I got my game, and a penny on an Edge card!
I'm thinking that I'm going to make money on this on eBay. It'd be a good investment. Works for me. This deal is sweet.[/QUOTE]
i hope your joking about making money off this on ebay. Your paying around 15 bucks for the games. you will be lucky to dump the game off on ebay for 25. So after shipping ebay fees and ect. you will make what 2-3 bucks per game??
